Ok, so I keep seeing that I need a 3" lift to fit 33"s without rubbing and yada yada ...due to suspension travel and whatnot. All understood and fine with me.
Now my question is, what can I consider driveable with a purely street driven truck? The odd FSR sure but it's not a wheeler. Can I fit a 32" tire without concern? i plan to use WJ lowers and add a simple 1" spacer to the front with new XJ springs and a set of GM 2" drop shackles to raise the rear an inch.
I want to be able to use stock JK tires/wheels since they are cheap and reaily available almost new. They are 32" tall stock.
Planning to trim the front flare and fender to the bottom of the headlight trim and replacve the front bumper with simple bumper with tow mounts (plan to haul it behind the motorhome when I camp an ain't wheelin).
Not planning to touch the rear.
given all that ... should I be able to fit a set of 32" JK tires (with Spidertrax spacer/adapters to bring the 6.25" backspace out to 5" backspace) and be fine? Stuffing a tire is not a concern, articulation is the last thing on my mind for this truck. Lowering it is not an option, I'm not a slam it kinda guy ... I already find it too low on it worn out front springs (front axle is shifted to passenger side 1" with stock suspension).
Any advice.
There will be 4wd conversion in it's future but that is just for winter driving safety concerns (so likely 242 and ZJ front axle)
